"The Tea Party movement isn't a party at all. I'd like politics without parties...

Those of us who went into war zones usually found Kurt waiting for us, casual yet intense, bearded in later years, his wire-rim glasses perched above an energetic smile, sardonic yet engaged. I would take him aside to find out what was really happening. He always knew more than the U.N. and the diplomats.
